I'm not sure why i'm fascinated about superheroes, and Darna in particular, even with
its glaring flaws...
maybe because of the nostalgia and childhood sentiment that Darna brings...or
it might be because Darna succeeded as a FEMALE superhero in a male dominated genre..or maybe it's simply because deep inside
i believe that each one of us is a hero capable of saving ourselves and others even without the aid of a magic stone
(Darna Fan )
DARNA is a cultural icon born at a time when the Philippines was struggling to come out of the devastation of World
War II. She served as a salve to a country looking for champion.
